During recent years projects aimed at the introduction of entrepreneurship and enterprise education have increasingly been found in Swedish schools. This is certainly the case for many schools in the county of Västerbotten in the North of Sweden in which now all municipalities are participating in an overall project. The point of departure for this study is the questions that arise over which the driving forces behind this development are, especially since the concepts of entrepreneurship and enterprise education are not mentioned in the National Curriculum. In order to understand why and how entrepreneurship and enterprise education have come to the schools the paper reports on changes in education policy during recent years. Especially the emergence of international policy convergence and new forms of multi-level governance is among the factors to be considered. It will draw an overview of policy development at different levels and argues that national and local policy are increasingly affected by policy frameworks articulated by supranational agencies, such as OECD and EU, which leads to a convergence of education policy.  The paper will draw on theoretical and methodological frameworks of Giddens, Castells, and Ball, among others. What forces and agencies have contributed to this growing interest for enterprise education in Sweden and what happens at the local level?
